Discovering the Comfort of Braised Beef Short Ribs

Richly flavored Braised Beef Short Ribs offer melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, making them an ideal centerpiece for special gatherings or cozy family dinners.

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs beef short ribs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 carrots peeled and chopped
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper.
  • In a large Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  • Sear the short ribs on all sides until well browned, about 3-4 minutes per side, then remove from the pot.
  • Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
  • Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  • Add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaves, and the seared short ribs back into the pot.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and transfer to the preheated oven.
  • Braize in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours or until the meat is fork-tender.
  • Once cooked, remove the pot from the oven and let it rest before serving.
  • Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving.
